LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

12/3: LOKAHI COLLECTION DAY COMBINES FORCES!

This year's annual Lokahi Collection Day Project combined two groups of Moanalua students:  the SA Officers and members of the Travel Industry Management Team.  All together, twenty-one volunteers came out to help man two major street corners at Ala Moana Shopping Center:  the Atkinson and Piikoi corners.  The exact amount collected is not known, however, both groups returned with backpacks full of donations.  Thank you to all volunteers, and good luck to the Lokahi Organization with this year's fundraising efforts.  Pictured above top to bottom:  volunteers get final instructions, Erica and Sydney get a donation, and Jamie tries her best to convince a driver.
